Over a decade of audio tease and email frustration the Static Brothers have finally managed to add Martin Jensen (The Home Current) to their family. Delivering four thixotropic tunes for CD we decided to spice up the package with 2 tracks being lathe cut onto vinyl by 3.45RPM. 100 copies only and 50 of these are exclusive to Norman Records.

The Home Current is the project of Dane, Martin Jensen. Previously based in London, Martin is now recording from his new base in Luxembourg. Recent The Home Current releases include a couple of 7"s for London label Polytechnic Youth. Further, Martin has remixed tracks for the likes of Colleen, Dollboy and Ellis Island Sound.

He co-founded the Second Language label in 2009 and co ran it until 2014. An avid vinyl collector, Martin has been DJ'ing since the mid-1980s, playing across Europe and he was the brains behind the “Music and Migration” trilogy compilation series in support of conservation charity BirdLife International.

Maybe because it isactually sunny outside, the first real spring day I guess, that makes this music that gives thislistener a big smile on his face. Jumpy, poppy, a techno intoxicating mix of electronic sounds and

Currently causing a fuss at the Static Caravan shop of sonic delights, judging the speed of the few that flew out of Norman records last week, you might want to consider getting your backside into gear if you want to secure one of the remaining ultra-limited lathe pressings. This is a track from a four track blink and its gone wax / CD set by the Home Current entitled – er – ‘the Home Current’, this one be ‘when waiting deadly’ a glitch grooved slice of minimalist tech all shuffling trip hop beats and mutant funk nano-bot designer wear artificial intelligence blip core, one for after-hours listening consumption, at once measured and intricately honed, sounding I must admit like a deeply isolationist and spectral Biosphere trading in sound worlds that recall the early catalogue ear wear of the likes of Expanding, Rednetic and Smallfish. https://soundcloud.com/martin_thc/when-waiting-deadly
